MASTER FRIENDSHIIP

Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.


I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE A GROUP OF FRIENDS ALL OF WHOM REFER TO ME AS THEIR BROTHER, BECAUSE THEY CONSIDER ME TO BE THEIR BEST FRIEND.

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT IF A PERSON IS ABLE TO HAVE ONE GENUINE FRIEND IN A LIFETIME THAT THEY ARE TRULY BLESSED.

HOW BLESSED AM I TO HAVE (4) FRIENDS THAT CALL ME BROTHER AND BEST FRIEND ?

MY DAUGHTERS REFER TO THEM AS UNCLE, THEIR FAMILIES RECEIVE ME AS FAMILY, CALLING ME UNCLE, AND THEIR LIVING PARENTS REFER TO ME AS A SON.

THE NEWEST OF THESE RELATIONSHIPS IS 26 YEARS LONG, WITH THE OTHERS SPANNING MORE THEN 35 PLUS YEARS, AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT OUR LIFETIME.

I WOULD NOT HAVE WANTED TO GO THROUGH MY LIFE WITHOUT THESE FELLOWS, AND AS VALUABLE AND GOOD AS THESE RELATIONSHIPS HAVE BEEN TO ME, THE BEST FRIEND I'VE EVER HAD HAS BEEN JESUS.

TRUE TO HIS WORD AS ALWAYS, JESUS HAS BEEN CLOSER TO ME THEN EVEN A BROTHER.

HE KNOWS MY THOUGHTS, EMOTIONS, HURTS, DREAMS, INSECURITIES, PAINS, WEAKNESSES, AND STRENGTHS, BUT HAS NEVER USED THEM AGAINST ME, OR TOLD THEM TO ANYONE.

I WASN'T SIMPLY BLESSED WITH SUCH NATURAL FRIENDSHIPS DUE TO MY LOOKS, BUT IT REQUIRED GREAT EFFORT ON MY PART, AND THE PART OF MY FRIENDS.






2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



IF WE ARE EVER TO ENJOY GENUINE RELATIONSHIP, AND EVEN FRIENDSHIP WITH THE LORD LIKE ABRAHAM WE MUST SHOW OURSELVES FRIENDLY AS WE DO IN THE NATURAL RELATIONSHIPS.

GAIN A FRIEND THAT WILL BE CLOSER THEN A BROTHER, AND BE FRIENDLY WITH THE MASTER.

AFTER DEATH

WE NEVER KNOW WHEN OUR TIME ON EARTH WILL BE OVER, YET MOST OF US TAKE A CAVALIER WALTZ THROUGH LIFE AS THOUGH WE COULD NEVER DIE THE VERY NEXT SECOND.

I'M OFTEN TORN BETWEEN BEING EXTREMELY AWARE OF MY MORTALITY, AND JUST HOW NEAR DEATH IS.

I CAN THEN BE JUST AS UNAWARE OF WHEN I AM LIVING AS THOUGH I WILL NEVER DIE.

LIVING NOR DYING ARE THEMSELVES THE MAJOR ISSUES AT HAND, WHAT IS MAJOR IS THE WAY WE LIVE DETERMINES IF WE ARE READY TO DIE.

THERE ARE TIMES I AM TO TIRED TO LIVE LIFE AS I KNOW IT, BUT NOT REALLY STRONG ENOUGH TO WELCOME DEATH.

SOME ARE SO BOLD AS TO SAY THEY WELCOME DEATH BECAUSE TO BE ABSENT FROM THIS BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD.

THOUGH THAT IS TRUE, WHAT IS OUR GUARANTEE THAT WE HAVE ATTAINED SUCH STATUS ?

ARE WE BASING THIS ON OUR OWN BIASED OPINION OF OUR CHRISTIAN WALK, OR IS IT AN ACCURATE ASSESSMENT BASED ON GOD'S WORD, PRECEPT, MANDATES, AND PRINCIPLES.

SATAN WILL LURE US TO WELCOME A DEATH WE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR BY FILLING US WITH PRIDE AND A UNDESERVED SENSE OF SECURITY THAT LULLS US TO COMPLACENCY.

THE COMPLACENCY CAUSES US TO CEASE FROM PURSUING GOD, AND PREPARING AS WE SHOULD FOR THE INEVITABLE DEATH THAT IS IMPENDING.

WHEN WE WAKE-UP ? WHEN WILL WE LEARN TO STOP BEING COMPLACENT IN OUR GOD WALK, AND FINALLY BEGIN TO RUN FOR OUR LIVE'S ?

DO WE TRULY BELIEVE OURSELVES READY TO CROSS THAT PLAIN INTO ETERNITY ?

HAVE WE BAMBOOZLED OURSELVES INTO A PRIDEFUL SENSE OF SECURITY.

REMEMBER FOREVER MEANS, JUST WHAT IT SAYS, F-O-R-E-V-E-R !!




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES WITH THE THEORY THAT WE ARE JUDGED ONCE AND FOR ALL WHEN WE BECOME BAPTIZED IN JESUS' NAME AND FILLED WITH THE HOLYGHOST.

GOD HAS A STANDARD FOR SAVED LIVING, AND ANYTHING WITH A STANDARD HAS SUCH FOR THE PURPOSE OF GAGING, OR MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS JUDGING.

THEREFORE LIVE LIKE YOU DESIRE, BUT REALIZE, AND PREPARE TO BE JUDGED EVEN AFTER LIFE, AND THERE WILL BE NO OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT ANY UNFAVORABLE JUDGEMENTS AFTER DEATH.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

HANGING ON !

Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.


JUST WHEN WE ARE CONVINCED WE ARE ON OUR OWN, AND KNOW ONE, INCLUDING GOD REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS TO US WE GET JUST THE PUSH WE NEED.

IT COULD BE A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FROM A FRIEND OR STRANGER.

MAYBE IT WILL BE SOMETHING WE SEE ON T.V. OR HEAR ON THE RADIO.

PERHAPS JUST A THOUGHT, MEMORY, OR SCRIPTURE FROM OUR PAST.

WHATEVER IT IS, IF WE JUST AREN'T SO HASTY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL, REGARDLESS OF THE TIMES LIFE KICKS US IN THE TEETH, WE JUST MAY MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE END IN VICTORY.

I AM SPEAKING TO YOU, BUT IT'S COMING THROUGH ME AND WHERE I'VE BEEN, AND EVEN WHERE I AM IN LIFE SOMETIMES PRESENTLY.

MAYBE YOU ARE A VICTORIOUS SPIRITUAL GIANT, THAT DWELLS ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP AT ALL TIMES, AND THAT'S FINE, THOUGH UNBELIEVABLE.

I ON THE OTHER HAND SEEM TO ONLY HAVE BEEN CLIMBING MY MOUNTAINS, YET TO EVEN SEE THE TOP.

METAPHORICALLY MY HANDS ARE CRAGGLED, CRACKED AND BLEEDING.

THE AIR IS THIN, AND MY BREATHING SHALLOW AND DIFFICULT.

MY BODY IS BATTERED, BRUISED, SORE, AND FATIGUED FROM NUMEROUS FALLS AND EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIMES HANGING FROM CLIFFS NOT KNOWING WHERE TO NEXT PLACE MY HAND, OR FOOT.

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, I HAVE LOOKED BEHIND ME ALL THE WAY BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN AND ASKED MYSELF HOW'D I GET THERE, AND WHY DID I EVER START THIS CLIMB.

THEN I LOOK AHEAD AND REALIZE I CAN'T EVEN SEE THE PEAK DUE TO THE CLOUDS, NOW WHAT DO I DO.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THERE ?

OF COURSE THE SUPERMEN SAINTS HAVEN'T, BUT AM I THE ONLY CLARK KENT TYPE LEFT, OR JUST THE ONLY ONE SAVED ENOUGH TO ADMIT BEING FRUSTRATED, TIRED, AND CLOSE TO THROWING UP MY HANDS IN DISGUST ?




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


IF WE NEVER REACH THE TOP OF OUR MOUNTAINS, LET'S STAY ON THEM UNTIL GOD SENDS THE SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM OUT TO RECOVER, AND DELIVER US TO HIS FEET.

LET'S STAY ON OUR MOUNTAINS, AND LET'S WAIT ON THE LORD !

HANG ON TILL THE END !

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART IV)

WE NEED TO LIMIT OUR WORDS TO THE TRUTH, AND ON AN AS NEEDED BASIS.

THE MORE WE SPEAK, THE MORE WE ARE TEMPTED TO IMPRESS THAT WE AGREE, THAT WE ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE, THAT WE ARE CHARMING ETC... WHICH INCREASES OUR LIKELIHOOD TO LIE.

MOST OF US PROBABLY SPEAK MORE THEN WE NEED TO, AND ABOUT MORE THEN WE GENUINELY KNOW.

IF WE ARE EVER TO LIVE GOD PLEASING LIVE'S WE WILL NEED TO GUARD AGAINST OUR MOUTH'S AND TONGUES SABOTAGING OUR PLANS ON SEEING THE LORD IN PEACE.

THEIR IS KNOW ONE ON EARTH WE CAN DECIDE TO SAY ANYTHING WE WANT TOO REGARDLESS OF THEIR, OR OUR SUPPOSED POSITIONS IN LIFE.

GRANTED THERE WILL COME TIMES WE WILL NEED TO SAY DIFFICULT, AND UNPOPULAR THINGS AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY IF WE BARE MANTLES SUCH AS PROPHET, PASTOR, PARENTS, FRIENDS.

WHEN THESE TIMES DO APPEAR WE SHOULD NEVER DO SO IN A CAVALIER, CALLOUS, OR GLEEFUL FASHION.

WORDS ARE LIKE GUNS, AND NOT TO BE PLAYED WITH, MISHANDLED, OR PLACED IN THE HANDS OF AMATEURS.

WORDS UNLIKE GUNS ARE NEVER UNLOADED.

THEY ARE ALWAYS LOADED AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND EVEN DEADLY.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



LET'S BE CAREFUL WHERE AND HOW WE POINT OUR WORDS, AND DEFINITELY WATCH OUR MOUTHS.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART III)

James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.


WE CAN SEE FROM THIS SCRIPTURE THAT OUR MOUTHS ARE INNATELY UNTAMED, EVIL, AND FULL OF POISON.

THOUGH IT STATES TONGUE THE MOUTH IS BEING IMPLIED AS WELL.

WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH SUCH A VILE BODY MEMBER ?

THANKS TO ADAM WE ARE ALL BORN IN SIN, BUT JUST AS THE FALLEN ANGELS HAD SOME THAT WERE WORSE THEN OTHERS, SO ARE CERTAIN PARTS OF OUR BODY OBVIOUSLY WORSE THEN OTHER PARTS.

GOD'S WORD IS TRUE, THEREFORE OUR TONGUES ARE UNTAMED, JUST AS THE WORD INFORMS US THAT THE HEART IS DECEITFUL AND DESPERATELY WICKED.

THE ONLY WAY WE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO WATCH OUR MOUTHS IN THIS SITUATION IS BY TAMING OUR TONGUES.

THE ONLY WAY TO POSSESS TAMED TONGUES IS THROUGH THE RENEWING OR OUR MINDS, THE DISCIPLINING OF OUR LIVE'S BY READING, LEARNING, AND LIVING THE WORD OF GOD.

WITHOUT THESE MEASURES WE WILL EVER HAVE AN UNTAMED TONGUE, BEING UNRULY AND SPEWING POISON TOWARDS OTHERS.

LET'S ALSO TAKE NOTICE THAT JAMES STATES "NO MAN CAN TAME", BUT WHAT MAN CAN'T DO, GOD CAN !

WE MUST NOT ALLOW OUR MOUTHS TO CAUSE US TO MISS HEAVEN, LANDING US IN HELL DUE TO OUR FAILING TO CONTROL OUR TONGUES, AND MOUTHS.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


WHEN OUR UNRULY TONGUES ARE ALLOWED TO STAY WITH US WE WILL FIND OURSELVES SPEAKING OUT OF PLACE, OUT OF TURN, FULL OF POISONOUS WORDS, AND SPITTING VENOM.

IF WE EVER DESIRE TO BE A WITNESS FOR THE LORD WE WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO LOSE OUR POISONOUS TONGUES, AND WATCH OUR MOUTHS.

WATCH YOUR MOUTH (PART II)

Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.


IN CONTINUING WITH THE "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" THEME I WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH UPON A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

I HAVE HEARD WITH MY OWN EARS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, SAINTS CASUALLY, AND CARELESSLY MAKING VOWS TO ONE ANOTHER FOR NO APPARENT REASON OTHER THEN IGNORANCE.

MOST OF THE TIMES THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS, THERE APPEARS TO BE NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE NEED OF A VOW SINCE THE CONVERSATIONS WEREN'T EVEN OF A WEIGHTY NATURE.

CHRISTIANS FOR EXAMPLE ARE MAKING STATEMENTS LIKE:" I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL BE THE BEST MOVIE YOU'LL EVER SEE" !

WHAT A FOOLISH, TRIVIAL WAY TO SPEAK IDLE WORDS, AS WELL AS TO SPEAK VOWS INTO EXISTENCE THAT THEY LITERALLY HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE OUTCOME.

BOTH OF WHICH THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT FOR AS WELL AS REAP FOR.

IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN I MAY HAVE TOUCHED UPON SIMILAR MATERIAL IN THE PAST.

OBVIOUSLY GOD BELIEVES THIS IS A TOPIC WORTHY OF REITERATION, AND REINFORCEMENT.

WORDS ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY, NOT WHEN SPOKEN IN OUR LIVE'S, OR OUR DIRECTION, AND ESPECIALLY WHEN COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTH'S.

YOU DO REALIZE WE HOLD THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH IN OUR WORDS, THOUGH THAT WILL BE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ENTRY ON A ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DAY.

IN CLOSING, BE GRATEFUL THAT THE LORD HAS ORDAINED AND DISPATCHED ME TO REVEAL THE CLEAR UNADULTERATED WORD IN THESE LAST DAYS.

IN DOING SO THE LORD HAS ALLOWED US TO BE APART OF HIS LAST DAYS JUDGEMENT AT HIS HOUSE, WHICH SHOULD WE HEED, WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD US TO, AND INTO THE PROMISED LAND.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


LET'S ALL STOP MAKING PROMISES AND SIMPLY LIVE SUCH BEYOND REPROACH LIVE'S THAT OUR WORD WILL CARRY ENOUGH WEIGHT TO BE ACCEPTED AT FACE VALUE.

INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVE UPSTANDING LIVE'S NEVER NEED ATTEMPT TO VALIDATE THEIR WORDS WITH A VOW, BECAUSE THEIR LIFESTYLES SEAL THE DEAL WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS.

SO LIVE THE LIFE, REFRAIN FROM THE VOW, AND "WATCH YOUR MOUTH" !!

WATCH YOUR MOUTH !!

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.



I HEARD APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES OF A MESSAGE TONIGHT BEFORE I'D HEARD ENOUGH TO REALIZE I WAS LISTENING TO A NOVICE.

PASTORS WITH INSECURITIES CAN SIT IN THE AUDIENCE ALLOWING PREACHING THAT IS NON-INTIMIDATING, OR THREATENING TO THEIR SHALLOW DIATRIBES THEY REFER TO AS MESSAGES.

I WITNESSED THIS INDIVIDUAL REFER TO SATAN AS "HIS BIG OLE UGLY TOOTHLESS SELF".

THIS THEN BECAME MY MOTIVATION FOR TODAYS ENTRY.

STATEMENTS OF THIS NATURE REVEAL SEVERAL THINGS IN A SPEAKER.

#1.- THEIR LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD.

#2.- THEIR DESIRE TO ENTERTAIN AND BE AMUSING, INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND ACCURATE.

#3.- THEIR HYPOCRITICAL STANCE WHEN SPEAKING OF SATAN'S DESIRE TO BE HEARD, SEEN, AND ELEVATED, WHEN THEY SEEK THE SAME WHEN DELIVER ERRONEOUS MESSAGES OF THIS NATURE IN THEIR EFFORT TO BE SEEN, ENTERTAIN, AND LAUDED AS SPECIAL.

#4.- THEIR HAVING NOT PREPARED THEMSELVES, SO THEY ARE NOT APPROVED BY WHO COUNTS, AND THAT'S GOD.

DID JESUS' OWN BROTHER NOT TELL US IN THE SCRIPTURE TEXT THAT EVEN AN ARCHANGEL WON'T MAKE RAILING ACCUSATIONS AGAINST SATAN ?

WHAT ALLOWS FOR SOME WEAK, MERE MORTAL, SO CALLED PREACHER TO DO AND SAY WHAT EVEN A LEADER OF LEGIONS OF ANGELS WON'T SAY ?

WE MUST ALSO REALIZE THAT MICHEAL IS NOT JUST SOME ANGEL, HE IS AN ARCH ANGEL, AND HE IS THE ANGEL OF WAR.

I COULD ONLY SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISGUST AFTER HEARING THE COMMENT MADE BY THE SPEAKER AND I LEFT.

NOTICE I CONTINUALLY REFER TO THIS INDIVIDUAL AS A SPEAKER AND NOT A PREACHER.

TITLES ARE FAR TO FREELY HANDED OUT, AND MY REMARKS ARE NO RAILING ACCUSATION AGAINST THEM, BUT IT IS THE TRUTH BY THEIR OWN PROOF.

THIS WILL MORE THEN LIKELY LEAD TO A SERIES OF LESSONS BUT I'LL WAIT AND SEE HOW GOD LEADS.

I ALREADY KNOW THIS TOPIC OF MOUTH WATCHING NEEDS TO TAUGHT AND PRACTICED THROUGHOUT THE CHURCH DAILY.

AS I WALKED OUT OF THE CHURCH IT DAWNED ON ME THAT SATAN COULD HAVE KILLED THIS INDIVIDUAL WHILE THEY STOOD IN THE PULPIT.

THIS PERSON WAS TO CAUGHT UP IN THEMSELVES TO REALIZE IT BECAUSE PRIDE HAS BLINDED THEM, AS THEY SUPPOSEDLY TAUGHT ON SATAN'S PRIDE.

THAT IS HOW SHREWED SATAN, AND PRIDE IS.

HE WILL ALLOW US TO BELIEVE WE ARE TEACHING AGAINST PRIDE WHILE WE WALLOW IN OUR OWN.

GOD MUST BE SICK OF THE CHURCH, BECAUSE I KNOW I AM.

THERE'S IS ABSOLUTELY TO MUCH MAN, AND ME, ME, ME IN GOD'S HOUSE.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO STUDY TO SHOW THY SELF APPROVED ?





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


IS REAL SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT " WATCH YOUR MOUTH" !!!!!!!!!

ANOTHER, NO MATTER WHAT !!

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.


IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP THIS BRIEF I WILL BE DIRECT, AND VOID OF FANFARE.

IF WE WANT GOD TO BE CLOSE TO US, WE ARE INSTRUCTED TO MAKE OURSELVES GET CLOSE TO HIM.

WE MUSTN'T OVERLOOK THE FACT THAT WE ALSO WILL NEED TO DO SOME VERY DIFFICULT SELF-EXAMINATION.

DIFFICULT BECAUSE WE NEED CLEAN OUR HANDS WHICH IS PROBABLY THE SIMPLEST OF THE TASK.

THIS CAN BE DONE BY NOT PLACING OUR HANDS IN THE WRONG PLACES, OR ASSIGNING THEM TO THE WRONG TASK.

PURIFYING OUR HEARTS THOUGH WILL REQUIRE A CONSIDERABLE BIT OF WORK FAR BEYOND OUR OWN MORTAL CAPABILITIES.

REGARDLESS OF HOW GOOD OR HOLY WE BELIEVE OURSELVES TO BE, PURIFYING OUR HEARTS WILL BE COSTLY, REVEALING AND PAINFUL.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FOR A DOUBLE MINDED PERSON TO BECOME OF ONE MIND IS IN ITSELF A MIRACLE OF SORTS.

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH OF THE DOUBLE MIND TO KEEP, OR IS EVEN THE RIGHT SIDE ?

BEING A TRUE CHILD OF GOD IS A LOT MORE THEN ATTENDING CHURCH, SINGING SONGS, GIVING MONEY, AND LOOKING, SOUNDING, AND ACTING LIKE A CHRISTIAN.

THIS WAY REQUIRES GENUINE CHANGE, TRUE COMMITMENT, SINCERE SURRENDER FAITH, AND DETERMINATION THAT SURPASSES ALL TEST, TRIALS AND OBSTACLES.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD OF BEING A CHILD OF GOD.

A LOT OF WORK, A LOT OF SACRIFICE AND SELF-EXAMINATION, A LOT OF CHANGE, A LOT OF DISCIPLINE AND SELF-DENIAL, A LOT OF MORE THEN WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE OR DO ON OUR OWN, OR BY OUR OWN MIGHT, STRENGTH, OR ABILITY.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


THERE IS NO SHORT WAY TO EXPLAIN WHAT IS REQUIRED TO BE SAVED, NOR ARE THERE ANY SHORTCUTS TO HEAVEN.

IT'S TIME TO ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES, GET CLOSE TO GOD,CLEAN OUR HANDS,GET RID OF OUR WORLDLY HEART, PURIFYING OUR HEARTS BY GOD'S WORD, AND GET A MADE UP MIND TO FOLLOW GOD NO MATTER WHAT.

VALIDATING THE HARM

Psalms 105:15 Saying , Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.


IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN CHURCH FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME YOU HAVE PROBABLY HEARD SOME PASTOR ATTEMPT TO USE THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE CRITIQUE OF PARISHIONERS AND OTHERS.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT ONCE THEY RESULT TO THE USE OF THIS SCRIPTURE THEY REVEAL THEIR OWN DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE DESCRIPTION BY THEIR VERY ACTIONS.

MY POINT IS THAT THE TRULY ANOINTED, AND GENUINELY PROPHETIC WOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO DEFEND THEMSELVES WHETHER THROUGH THE USE OF THE WORD OR ANY OTHER MEANS.

THOSE THAT PRACTICE THESE TACTICS ARE ACTUALLY WRESTING THE SCRIPTURES FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, WHICH IS NOT THE SPIRIT BEHIND GOD'S WORD.

THE ORIGINAL CONTEXT OF THIS PASSAGE WAS IN REFERENCE TO ABRAHAM, ISSAC, AND JACOB, NOT TO SOME CONNIVING, MANIPULATING, SELF-PROMOTING, EGOTISTICAL, FLEEING WHEN NO MAN PURSUES, WICKED PASTOR.

SAINTS MUST LEARN THE WORD OF GOD THAT THEY NOT BE DECEIVED BY THESE UNGODLY PRACTICES.

PASTORS USE THESE TACTICS TO DERAIL THE MORE THEN LIKELY JUSTIFIED CRITIQUE, AND CLOSE SCRUTINY AND EXAMINATION BY THE PEOPLE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO SERVE AND MINISTER TO.

WHAT GENUINE MAN OR WOMAN OF GOD, THAT IS A MAN AFTER GOD'S OWN HEART WOULD BELIEVE THEMSELVES ABOVE THE SCRUTINY OF THE PEOPLE.

DON'T WE, INCLUDING PASTORS EVEN EXAMINE AND SCRUTINIZE GOD'S LEADING BY QUESTIONING, DOUBTING, AND DISOBEYING WHAT HE INSTRUCTS US TO DO.

THIS PASSAGE IS MOSTLY USED TO CONTROL THE QUESTIONING, AND COMMENTS OF SKEPTICAL CHRISTIANS.

UNGODLY LEADERS DESIRE TO MANIPULATE AND CONTROL SAINTS ACTIONS AND WORDS.

IF GOD ALLOWS OUR BEING CREATURES OF FREE WILL, WHY WOULD HE THEN TURN US OVER TO THE RULE, AND WHIM OF SOME MAN.

ISN'T GOD A MORE LIKELY, AND BETTER SUITED INDIVIDUAL TO SURRENDER OUR WILL TOO, THEN SOME PASTOR ?

LET'S NOT BE SO FOOLISH AS TO NOT HOLD PASTORS TO A HIGH STANDARD BASED ON THE WORD AND NOT WHAT THEY TELL US A GOOD PASTOR IS.

WE ARE TO FOLLOW LEADERS AS THEY FOLLOW THE LORD, NOT BECAUSE THEY TELL US TO, AND NOT BECAUSE WE ARE INTIMIDATED BY THEM WAVING GOD AND HIS WORD OVER OUR HEADS LIKE A HAMMER.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


REMEMBER THE GENUINELY ANOINTED, AND PROPHETIC DON'T DEFEND THEMSELVES, THEY REALIZE THAT WHATEVER GOD HAS CALLED THEM TO DO COULD NEVER BE DERAILED, OR THWARTED BY ANY FORCE BE IT OF MAN OR SPIRIT.

SO THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR A PASTOR RESULT TO THIS TACTIC REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT FIT TO BE CONSIDERED GODS ANOINTED, OR PROPHETIC.

IT SHOULD ALSO REVEAL THAT WHATEVER THE ACCUSATIONS, OR CRITICISM THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO SQUASH BY USING THIS SCRIPTURE MORE THEN LIKELY BEAR SOME TRUTH, AND EVEN GREATER SCRUTINY.

WHEN THIS SCRIPTURE IS BEING USED IN THIS FASHION THE HARM HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE, AND IT IS ONLY BEING VALIDATED BY THE ACCUSED.

DUPES, OR DOING ?

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.


WHAT I GATHER FROM THIS SCRIPTURE IS,"IF WE EVER WANT TO FOOL OURSELVES, LET'S JUST KEEP GOING TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL AND MORNING WORSHIP, BIBLE STUDY AND PRAYER SERVICE AND STILL NOT DO ANYTHING WE HEAR AND LEARN FROM THE SCRIPTURES".

THE WORLD IS FULL OF PEOPLE THAT REGULARLY ATTEND SERVICES, PROCLAIM AND PROFESS CHRISTIANITY, TALK THE PART, WALK THE PART, AND LOOK THE PART.

THE ONLY PROBLEM IS MOST THAT KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOLED BY THE HYPOCRITICAL CHARADE, AND IT IS CERTAIN THAT GOD IS NOT FOOLED, OR DECEIVED.

SHOWING UP TO CHURCH IS FINE, QUOTING THE WORD IS IMPRESSIVE, AND HEARING THE WORD BENEFICIAL, BUT UNTIL THE WORD IS PUT INTO PRACTICE, AND APPLIED DAILY WE ARE DECEIVING OURSELVES AT BEST, AND RELIGIOUS AT WORST.

BEING SELF-DECEIVED IS TERRIBLE, BUT CAN BE REMEDIED ONCE POINTED OUT IN LOVE, RECEIVED PROPERLY, AND THE PERSON REPENTS AND ADJUST TO DO WHATS RIGHT, WHICH WOULD BE TO DO THE WORD.

THE RELIGIOUS PERSON IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY THOUGH.

RELIGIOSITY IS SO SUBTLE, PERMEATING, JUDGEMENTAL, HOLIER THEN THOU, AND WHEN THREATENED IT CAN BE EXTREMELY VICIOUS, EXACTINGLY VINDICTIVE,
AND STUBBORN.

JUST ASK JESUS, AS IT WAS RELIGION THAT ATTACKED, FALSELY ACCUSED, AND EVENTUALLY CRUCIFIED AND KILLED HIM.

THIS IS TURNING INTO A MUCH BROADER, IN DEPTH LESSON THEN THIS ENTRY WILL ALLOW, SO I WILL SIMPLY ENCOURAGE ALL TO BE AWARE OF RELIGIOSITY.

THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT IS A DOMINATING SPIRIT AND USUALLY WILL BE THE STRONGMAN IN DELIVERANCE SCENARIOS.

ONCE AGAIN GOD'S WORD IS NOT JUST FOR HEARING, NOT FOR QUOTING, NOT FOR HOLDING OVER OTHERS HEADS, NOT SETTING ON COFFEE TABLES, AND NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

GOD'S WORD IS FOR ACTION, FOR DOING, FOR LIVING, FOR GOOD, AND FOREVER !

HOW PLEASED WERE OUR NATURAL PARENTS WHEN WE DIDN'T DO WHAT THEY TOLD US.

WHY WOULD OUR HEAVENLY FATHER BE ANY DIFFERENT WHEN WE FAIL TO DO WHAT HE TELLS US TO DO ?





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


CON MEN ARE CALLED SUCH BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO GET PEOPLE TO BUY INTO SCHEMES THAT IN RETROSPECT WERE ACTUALLY TO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

THEY DECEIVE PEOPLE THAT THE POLICE CALL DUPES, AND THAT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND GOOD.

LET'S NOT BE OUR OWN DUPES DECEIVING OURSELVES AS THE WORD SAYS.

BY BUYING INTO OUR OWN CON SCHEME THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY BE PLEASING TO GOD BY SIMPLY LISTENING TO HIS WORDS, BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING TO PLEASE HIM BY LIVING HIS WORD.

ARE WE GOING TO BE DUPES, OR DOING ?

NO MATTER WHAT !

WHEN WE FEEL WE CAN GO NO FURTHER IN THE RACE OF LIFE, WE MUST RUN UNTIL WE CAN NO LONGER RUN.

THEN WE SHOULD WALK UNTIL OUR FEET BLISTER, SWELL AND HURT SO WE CAN NO LONGER WALK.

CRAWL UNTIL OUR KNEES BLEED, WEAR FLAT, AND THE BONES ARE VISIBLE.

ONCE CRAWLING IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE AND WE CEASE TO MOVE, WE SHOULD LAY ON THE COURSE SWOLLEN, BRUISED, BLEEDING, BLISTERED, FATIGUED AND MORE DETERMINED TO STAY THE COURSE WHETHER MOVING OR NOT.

IF WE MUST DIE WHILE REACHING FOR THE FINISH LINE, LET'S DO SO WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD HAS BEEN WITH US ALL ALONG, AND WE ONLY REACHED WHERE WE DID BY HIS GRACE.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


WE'VE ALL BEEN THROUGH TO MUCH, LOST TO MUCH, CRIED TO MUCH, HURT TO MUCH, AND COME TO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW.

OUR TIME IS SOONER THEN WE THINK IF WE DON'T GIVE UP, AND DON'T QUIT, NO MATTER WHAT !

RIGHT RUNNERS, WRONG RACE

1Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.


IN SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AND POSSIBLY A FEW OTHERS I MUST SAY THAT I AM BETTER SUITED FOR SPRINTS, AND NOT DISTANCE RUNNING.

THIS IS APPLICABLE BOTH IN THE NATURAL, AS WELL AS THE SPIRITUAL REALM.

AS A YOUNGER MAN I WAS A FORCE TO RECKON WITH WHEN IT CAME TO FOOT RACES THAT SPANNED 50 TO 100 YARDS.

I WAS A TRUE SPRINTER, QUICK OUT OF THE BLOCKS, AND EVEN QUICKER THROUGH THE FINISHLINE.

THE EXPENDITURE OF ENERGY WAS GREAT BUT THE REWARDS AND GRATIFICATION WAS AS CLOSE TO IMMEDIATE AS COULD BE, SINCE THE RESULTS WERE REALIZED WITHIN SECONDS.

OF COURSE I ENJOYED THAT AND CARRIED THAT ATTITUDE THROUGHOUT THE REST OF MY LIFE.

AS AN IMMATURE INDIVIDUAL WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE SUCH A FOOLISH NOTION TO BE REALISTIC.

THAT LIFE WOULD ALWAYS NOTICE AND REWARD OUR DEEDS AND EFFORTS IMMEDIATELY ALLOWING FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF OUR LABORS FRUITS INSTANTLY.

AS TIME PAST, I MATURED AND DISCOVERED THE PAINFUL TRUTH BOTH NATURALLY AND SPIRITUALLY.

NOW THE SPRINT HAD BECOME A MARATHON, AND MARATHON'S THOUGH NOT AS IMMEDIATELY PHYSICALLY TAXING AS SPRINTS WOULD DEPLETE MY ENERGY, DRIVE, DETERMINATION AND FOCUS OVER TIME.

HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO LOSE THE SPRINTERS MINDSET.

I AM INATELY PREDISPOSED TO INSTANT GRATAFICATION, UNFORTUNATELY ANYTHING WORTHWHILE WILL REQUIRE TIME TO COME TO FRUITION, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF A SPIRITUAL NATURE.

I BELIEVE SOLOMON STATES IN ECCLESIASTES THAT "THE RACE IS NOT TO THE SWIFT", AND THE AUTHOR OF HEBREWS INSTUCTS US TO "RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US ".

TODAYS SCRIPTURE TEXT ENCOURAGES US TO "RUN THAT YE MAY OBTAIN", SO OUR GOAL IN LIFE'S MARATHON SHOULD NOT ONLY BE TO RUN, BUT IT IS TO BE TO WIN.

THE WORLD HAS A SAYING THAT "AT LEAST YOU WERE IN THE RACE", IN THE WORLD THAT MAY SUFFICE, BUT IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM ALSO RANS ARE JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

GOD HAS MADE IT PLAINLY CLEAR THROUGH HIS WRITTEN WORD THAT OUR INTENTION, FOCUS, AND GOAL SHOULD NOT SIMPLY BE ENTRANCE IN THE RACE.

WE ARE TO ENTER WITH EVERY INTENTION OF WINNING, REGARLESS OF WHO LINES UP WITH US, WIND CONDITIONS, INJURIES, OR ANYOTHER IMPEDENCE, OBSTACLE, OR EXCUSE.

SPRINTERS DON'T WIN MARATHONS BECAUSE THEY DON'T TRAIN FOR THE LONG HAUL, SO THEY LACK THE MINDSET.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


FROM THIS POINT ON LET'S APPROACH THE LINE EXPECTING A MARATHON.

SHOULD THE LORD IN HIS GRACE AND MERCY SHORTEN THE RACE THEN WE'LL SIMPLY HAVE SOME ENERGY IN THE RESERVES.

WE ARE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SPIRITUAL RACE, BUT LET'S NOT BE SPRINTERS IN A MARATHON OR WE'LL BE THE RIGHT RUNNERS IN THE WRONG RACE.

LIVE TO DIE, DIE TO LIVE !

2Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:



SINCE THE LOSS OF MY DAUGHTER I MUST ADMIT THAT DEATH HAS BEEN IN MY THOUGHTS MORE THEN I CAN EVER REMEMBER IT BEING IN THE PAST.

MY THOUGHTS AND OUTLOOKS HAVEN'T NECESSARILY CHANGED, BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY MORE FREQUENT.

I AM STRUGGLING DAILY TO BE ABLE TO STATE AS PAUL STATED IN THE SCRIPTURE TEXT.

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I HAVE FOUGHT, BUT TWO QUESTIONS DANCE IN MY MIND.

#1.- WAS, OR SHOULD I SAY IS, MY FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT ?

#2.- WILL I FINISH MY COURSE, IF IT IS THE GOOD FIGHT, AND THE RIGHT COURSE ?


ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN THOUGH.

THAT IS IF I DO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT, AND FINISH MY RIGHT COURSE, IT WILL
ONLY BE DONE IN, AND BY FAITH, BECAUSE I SIMPLY CANNOT DO THIS ON MY OWN.

PAUL'S WORDS ARE THE BOLD, AND CONFIDANT DECLARATIONS OF A MAN SURE OF HIS IMPENDING VICTORY !

I PRAY I CAN MAKE THE SAME DECLARATION SOMEDAY, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, AND THAT IT BE 100% TRUE.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


LET'S LIVE AS THOUGH WE'LL DIE TODAY, AND DIE KNOWING WE'LL LIVE FOREVER!

SPANK ME INTO HEAVEN

Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:



HOW MANY OF US CAN TRULY SAY WE HAVE BEEN HAPPY WHEN RECEIVING OUR CORRECTION FROM THE LORD, EVEN KNOWING THAT WE ARE WELL DESERVING OF GREATER PUNISHMENT ?

I HOPE IN HONESTY WE ALL ANSWERED "NEVER" TO THAT QUESTION.

IN RETROSPECT WE MAY REJOICE IN OUR CORRECTIONS ONCE IT IS REALIZED THAT GOD METED IT OUT WITH MERCY.

WE MUST ALSO RETROSPECTIVELY EXAMINE HOW GOD'S CORRECTIVE DISCIPLINE MORE THEN LIKELY PREVENTED US FROM SLIPPING FURTHER INTO OUR SINFUL STATE.

IF THERE WAS EVER AN INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS SUBJECTED TO TEST AND TRIALS IT WAS JOB.

THIS SAME JOB FOUND IT IN HIMSELF TO DECLARE SUCH A BOLD SCRIPTURAL STATEMENT IN SPITE OF HIS LOSSES, DESPAIR, AND SADNESS.

JOB'S ATTITUDE WAS SUCH, THAT HE ASSUMED HE WAS BEING CORRECTED FOR SOME WRONG/SIN HE'D COMMITTED AGAINST GOD, THEREFORE HE BELIEVED HE WAS BEING SUBJECTED TO GOD'S CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.

THOUGH WE REALIZE THIS WAS NOT THE CASE, WE ONLY ARE AWARE OF THAT FACT BECAUSE WE READ IT AFTER THE FACT.

JOB WASN'T READING ABOUT HIS WOES, HE WAS ACTUALLY LIVING THEM, AND YET HE MANAGED TO ADOPT THE ATTITUDE OF PRAISING AND WORSHIPPING GOD.

CAN WE SAY THE SAME FOR OURSELVES ?

DO WE DESPISE THE CHASTENING OF THE LORD ?

ARE WE JOYFUL, AND REJOICING ABOUT OUR CORRECTION FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, OR ARE WE COMPLAINING, QUESTIONING, AND RUNNING FROM OUR SPANKINGS ?

IT'S TIME TO RE-EXAMINE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES IN HOPES OF DISCOVERING IF WE ARE BEING CHASTENED BY THE ALMIGHTY, OR IF WE ARE SIMPLY IN A MESS DUE TO OUR OWN PRIDEFUL ACTIONS, AND DECISIONS.

WHATEVER THE CASE MAYBE I BELIEVE IT WISDOM THAT WE EXAMINE OUR LIVE'S, AND SITUATIONS PLACING GOD IN THE VERY CENTER OF THE PROCESS.

THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL WE BEGIN TO CULTIVATE THE PROPER ATTITUDE AND MEASURES TO LIVE A PLEASING LIFE TO GOD THE ALMIGHTY.

REMEMBER JOB SAID, "HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO GOD CORRECTETH", BUT HE NEVER INDICATED WHEN THE HAPPINESS WILL BE REALIZED.

MY POINT IS THAT WE MAY NEVER TRULY REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH THE LORD HAS DONE FOR US BY HIS CORRECTIVE ACTIONS UNTIL WE ARRIVE IN HIS PRESENCE IN PEACE TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH HIM.

IT IS AT THAT TIME GENUINE CHILDREN OF GOD WILL BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE OF THE FATHER THAT CARED ENOUGH TO PREVENT OUR WAYWARD PRACTICES TO LEAD US INTO A DEVIL'S HELL.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



AS IN THE NATURAL, SPANKINGS HURT FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT UNRULY LIVING WILL FOLLOW US THROUGHOUT LIFE.

THIS LIFESTYLE BRINGS MUCH HEARTACHE, PAIN, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND SEVERE REPERCUSSIONS, SUCH AS INCARCERATION, EARLY GRAVE, AND WORSE OF ALL AN ETERNITY IN HELL.

PARENT'S SPANKINGS HELP US TO DEVELOP INTO GOOD CITIZENS, BUT GOD'S SPANKINGS WILL SAVE US AND CREATE CITIZENS OF HEAVEN.

OUR REQUEST SHOULD BE FOR THE LORD TO SPANK US RIGHT INTO HEAVEN.

"POSITION IN LIFE"

IN THE PAST I HAVE POSTED PSALMS THAT I HAVE WRITEN AS I WAS INSPIRED, AND MOVED BY THE LORD.

I HAVE HAD OTHERS DOUBT THAT THE LORD WOULD BLESS ONE PERSON WITH SUCH DIVERSITY IN GIFTINGS, BUT ALL I CAN DO IS DECLARE WHAT I KNOW MYSELF TO BE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.

AS A PSALMIST I STRIVE TO ONLY WRITE WHEN INSPIRED AND ANOINTED TO DO SO.

AS A PROPHET I STRIVE TO ONLY SPEAK DIRECTLY INTO LIFES, OR DECLARE WHAT THUS SAITH THE LORD WHEN RELEASED AND ANOINTED TO.

IN EVERY OTHER OFFICE I AM ALLOWED TO MINISTER I STRIVE TO ONLY FUNCTION IN THOSE CAPACITIES WHEN LEAD, AND PERMITTED BY THE HOLYSPIRIT.

TODAY I FEEL LED TO SHARE A PRAYER I RECORDED IN THE EARLY 2000'S BETWEEN 01-02 WHEN I'D NOT BEEN LONG IN THE SPIRITUAL CAVES I'VE SPENT THE PAST 10 YEARS AND COUNTING IN.

I PRAY IT WILL BLESS YOU:


>>>>>>>>>>>POSITIONS IN LIFE<<<<<<<<<<<<<


FATHER BLESS ME TO EVER REALIZE

THAT MY STATUS IN LIFE

IS NOT BASED ON WHER I SIT,

BUT ON WHAT I STAND.

NEVER ALLOW MY CONFIDENCE TO BE PLACED

IN MAN, FINANCES, OR THINGS,.

ANOINT MY EYES, EARS, HEART, AND MIND,

THAT I MAY SEE, HEAR, FEEL, AND KNOW

WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE ME TO

LOOK AT, LISTEN TOO,, SENSE, AND UNDERSTAND.

DEAR GOD, AS I WORSHIP YOU

SHATTER EVERY CHAIN SATAN WOULD USE

TO SHACKLE MY MIND.

AS I PRAISE YOU LORD,

DESTROY EVERY YOKE OF BONDAGE,

THE ADVERSARY HAS PREPARED FOR ME.

AS I CRY, DRY MY TEARS,

IF I SEVER OUR FELLOWSHIP

BRIDGE THE GAP.

MASTER, AS MOSES EXTENDED HIS STAFF,

BELIEVING HE HELD NOTHING,

YOU WORKED MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE,

ALLOW ME TO EXTEND MY LIFE AS MOSE'S ROD

AND DO AS YOU WILL.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



JUST TRUST GOD AND DO AND BE WHAT HE SAYS YOU ARE, NOT WHAT OTHERS, OR WE OURSELVES SAY, OR BELIEVE US TO BE.

WHEREVER GOD LEADS AND PLACES US IS OUR RIGHT POSITION IN LIFE.

NO GOODY TWO-SHOES

THE PREVIOUS DAILY ENTRY MADE MENTION OF HOW WE AS REDEEMED SAINTS OUGHT TO BE EVER SO GRATEFUL TO THE LORD FOR SAVING SUCH WRETCHES AS US.

TODAY I AWOKE WITH THE WORD IN MY SPIRIT THAT THERE ARE SOME THAT READ THE PARTIAL LISTING OF SIN'S AND FELT AS THOUGH NONE OF IT PERTAINS TO THEM, OR US.

DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEIR UNSAVED LIVE'S NEVER INVOLVED SUCH ILLICIT ACTIVITIES, AND SIN'S.

THESE ARE FULL OF PRIDE AND CONVINCED THAT THEY ARE SOME , OR WHERE SOMEHOW BETTER THEN THE LISTED ADULTERER, THIEF, OR WHATEVER SIN I LISTED.

ALTHOUGH IT IS VERY TRUE THAT IN THIS WORLD SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS HAVE NEVER STOLEN, CHEATED ON SPOUSES, FORNICATED, ETC....

THIS IN NO WAY MAKES THEM ANY MORE SUPERIOR THEN THE PERPETRATORS OF THE SAME.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS TO BE FOUND IN THE BIBLE:


Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;


THE APOSTLE PAUL IN HIS STRAIGHT FORWARD FASHION SERVED TO EFFECTIVELY DEFLATE THE EGO'S OF ALL HAUGHTY, SELF-RIGHTEOUS INDIVIDUALS WITH THIS BLANKETING STATEMENT OF SIN FOR ALL.

IN CLOSING, WE MUST REALIZE THAT EVEN THE MOST DISCIPLINED, CLEAN LIVING, DECENT PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE WORLD HAVE STILL FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD, AND IT IS DUE TO THE SIN IN THEIR LIFE.

THE SIN WE WHERE BORN INTO, THANKS TO ADAM.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



EVERYONE EVER BORN, THAT LIVES UNTO ACCOUNTABILITY, MUST REPENT, BE BAPTIZED IN JESUS NAME, AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLYGHOST, BAR NONE.

SO FOR ALL OF THE EXALTED READERS, "PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE YOURSELF OF SUCH STELLAR BEHAVIOR THAT YOU ARE BEYOND THE NEED FOR TOTAL SURRENDER TO CHRIST.

CONTRARY TO YOUR BELIEFS, AND SATAN'S LIES TO YOU, THERE ARE NO GOODY TWO-SHOES.

LET'S NOT FORGET

TODAY LET'S JUST LOOK BACK TO WHERE THE LORD FOUND US AND BROUGHT US FROM.

SOME OF US WERE LIARS, THIEVES, ADULTERERS, FORNICATORS, ATHEIST, DRUG AND ALCOHOL USERS AND ABUSERS, FIGHTERS, UNFORGIVING, BITTER, FULL OF HATRED
GAMBLERS, AND WORSE.

YET GOD STILL LOOKED BEYOND ALL OF THESE FAULTS, OR MORE ACCURATELY SIN AND SAW OUR NEED OF SALVATION, AND GAVE US WHAT WE COULD NEVER AFFORD TO BUY.

WHAT A GOOD GOD, WHEN WE DIDN'T LIKE OURSELVES HE ACTUALLY LOVED US.

IF WE WILL BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES AND NOT SUGARCOAT OUR PAST DEEDS WE WOULD ADMIT TO THE LOWLIFES WE WERE CAPABLE OF BEING, AND IN MANY CASES LITERALLY WERE.

SHOULDN'T WE AFTER THIS INVENTORY JUST FEEL COMPELLED TO BE EVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE PERFECT SACRIFICE WE HAVE IN JESUS ?

ALSO HIS SIN CLEANSING BLOOD ON CALVARY'S CROSS, AND THE DEATH , BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION OF THE LAMB OF GOD ?




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


TODAY'S ADMONISHMENT IS QUITE SIMPLE.

DON'T FORGET WHERE GOD HAS BROUGHT US FROM, AND LETS THANK HIM WITH ALL OF OUR HEART, SOUL, AND MIND, IN SINCERITY AND TRUTH.

LET'S NOT FORGET !!!!!

LET'S GET IT DONE

1PETER 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:


THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY FOR US AS THE CALLED OUT OF GOD TO BOLDLY POINT OUT
REBUKE,AND WARN THE MASSES OF CHARLATANS IN, AND AROUND THE PULPIT.

THAT IS WITH STRAIGHT UNCOMPROMISING, AND APOLOGY FREE TALK.

THE TIME IS PAST FOR THE POLITICALLY CORRECT, SOFT PEDDLING MENTIONS OF THESE HARMFUL SUPPOSED MEN AND WOMAN OF GOD.

THESE ARE THOSE THAT REPEATEDLY TEACH ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE, AND USE THE PEOPLE OF GOD AS MONEY DISPENSERS, AND VERBAL PUNCHING BAGS.

THEY HAVE TOTAL DISREGARD AS TO THE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO THE MASSES AS LONG AS THEY'RE APPETITES AND EGOS ARE BEING FED BY NEOPHYTES AND SHALLOW SAINTS WITH ITCHING EARS.

PROPHETS ARE TO BRING ORDER, AND ORDER RARELY IS EASILY ACCEPTED BY THE MASSES, DUE TO THE FACT THAT PEOPLES COMFORT ZONES ARE GENERALLY FOUND IN THE MIDST OF SPIRITUAL CHAOS.

PEOPLE WELCOME THE WELL CAMOUFLAGED CHAOS OF CHURCH THAT IS HIDDEN IN RELIGIOSITY.

AS LONG AS SPIRITUAL UNIFORMITY AND ACCURACY IS ABSENT, WHO IS TO SAY WHO'S SPIRITUAL AND WHO'S NOT ?

SATAN HAS LULLED THE CHURCH TO SLEEP BY CREEPING THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY INTO THE PICTURE.

SAINTS HAVE GROWN TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR PRIVATE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE SCRIPTURES WILL SUFFICE IN OUR GETTING TO HEAVEN.

IT IS THE CHARLATANS OF THE PODIUM THAT EXACERBATE THESE CONDITIONS IN THE CHURCH BY THEIR LACK OF DISCERNMENT, ANOINTING, WORD KNOWLEDGE, AND HYPOCRITICAL FILLING OF POSITIONS THEY ARE NOT CALLED TOO.

NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE CALLING OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ON THE CARPET FOR THE OVERALL GOOD OF THE CHURCH, AND THEIR PERSONAL SOULS AS WELL.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

WHEN WE HEAR THE CHALLENGING OF THE LEADERS OF THE CHURCH WE SHOULD NOT BE DISTURBED BY THAT.

WE SHOULD WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO VALIDATE THEIR CALLINGS, OR CAUSE THEM TO LEAVE.

THE TIME IS NOW FOR JUDGEMENT TO BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD, AND IT WILL NEED US TO GET IT DONE.

MORE WALK, LESS TALK

WE ARE NOT GOOD CHRISTIANS, OR EFFECTIVE WITNESSES BECAUSE WE ATTEMPT TO FORCE OUR WAYS, AND BELIEFS UPON OTHERS.

THE WORK PLACE IS NOT FOR US TO IMPOSE LIMITS AND BOUNDARIES ON THE UNSAVED CO-WORKERS.

FIRST AND FOREMOST WE ARE TO BE WORKERS AT WORK BECAUSE WE ARE BEING PAYED TO WORK, NOT PREACH.

SECONDLY WE SHOULDN'T EXPECT THOSE WITHOUT THE HOLYGHOST TO BEHAVE BETTER THEN THOSE OF US WITH THE HOLYGHOST.

WE FAIL, AND SIN FROM TIME TO TIME AND WE ARE SAVED, WHY WOULDN'T WE EXPECT THE SAME FROM THE UNSAVED.

GRANTED WE ARE NOT TO CONDONE, OR ENCOURAGE THE UNGODLY ACTIONS, BUT WE ARE ALSO NOT TO SCOLD, REPRIMAND AND/OR BERATE THE UNSAVED OFFENDERS.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE ARE TO INTEREST, WITNESS, AND CONVERT THE UNLOST BY OUR LIFE'S, WORDS, ACTIONS, AND REACTIONS TO THE WORK ENVIRONMENT, AS WELL AS OUR PRIVATE WOES.

WHEN THEY SEE OUR DAILY WALK WITH THE LORD THEY WILL REALIZE THAT OUR CONVERSION AND OUR GOD IS REAL.

PERHAPS IT IS EASIER TO TRY AND MAKE THE UNSAVED SAVED, THEN IT ACTUALLY IS TO LIVE SAVED.

THEREFORE SHALLOW CHRISTIANS RESULT TO MAKING OTHERS FEEL BAD, OR FRUSTRATED, SO THAT THEY CAN LOOK AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:



IF WE ARE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF OUR CO-WORKERS AND FAMILIES SOULS WE NEED LESS PREACHING TO THEM, AND MORE EXAMPLES OF GENUINE CHRISTIANITY.

EVEN IF THEY DID EVERYTHING WE ASKED THEM TO DO, BUT FAILED TO REPENT, BE BAPTIZED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLYSPIRIT THEY WILL ONLY BE ACTING LIKE CHRISTIANS, LIKE SO MANY OF US.

ACTING SAVED, AND BEING SAVED ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.

AS CHRISTIANS LETS PRACTICE HAVING MORE OF A WALK, AND LESS SHALLOW TALK.

PRAY, PREY, PRAY !!!!

THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN WE WON'T FEEL LIKE PRAYING, DESIRE TO PRAY, OR EVEN BE ABLE TO PRAY DUE TO THE FIERCE BATTLES WE WILL BE ENGAGED IN.

THOUGH WE MAY NOT OFFICIALLY GO TO OUR USUAL PLACE OF PRAYER, OR TO OUR KNEES, WE MUST STILL MANAGE TO EEK A PRAYER OUT.

EVEN IF IT IS JUST A "HELP ME LORD", OR PERHAPS ONLY A MOAN, SIGH, OR SILENT PLEA.

WE MUST PRAY OR BECOME PREY.

SATAN IS A DEVOURER, AND HE WILL DEVOUR US IF WE DON'T PRAY TO NOT BECOME HIS PREY.

ONLY DAYS AGO I WROTE OF HOW OUR NOT PRAYING MAKES US FEEBLE, AND ALL PREDATORS SEEK THE MOST FEEBLE OF THE HERD TO SINGLE OUT FOR EASY PICKINGS.

IS THAT YOU, OR ME ?

ARE WE THE ONE SATAN HAS HIS EYES OWN DROOLING, AND LICKING HIS CHOPS BECAUSE WE ARE WEAK AND LAGGING BEHIND THE HERD ?

ARE WE WANDERING OR LIMPING AND BLEEDING FROM PREVIOUS WOUNDS ?

SOME WOUNDS ARE THE WORK OF SATAN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, OR SHOULD I SAY SADLY A LARGE PORTION OF OUR WOUNDS ARE SELF-INFLICTED.

ONE THING IS CERTAIN THOUGH, SATAN THE PREDATOR COULD CARE LESS IF OUR WOUNDS ARE HIS HANDY WORK OR THE RESULT OF OUR OWN FOLLY AND SIN.

HE IS COMING TO DEVOUR THE WEAKEST OF THE HERD, AND HE'S PLAYING FOR KEEPS.

HIS INTENTIONS ARE TO KILL.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


Luke 18:1 he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;


THIS IS THE EXACT SAME SCRIPTURE USED A FEW DAYS AGO AND IT IS OBVIOUS THE LORD DESIRE TO REITERATE THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER TO US.

IF WE ARE NOT TO BE SATAN'S MEAL FOR THE DAY WE MUST PRAY.

IN CLOSING, I STATE ONCE MORE, "PRAY, PREY, PRAY!!!!"

NO ESCAPE

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.


BECAUSE WE DO WRONG TODAY AND DON'T REAP FOR OUR SINS IS NOT AN INDICATOR OF OUR HAVING ESCAPED.

FARMERS NEVER EXPECT TO REAP CROPS DURING THE PLANTING SEASON, BUT THEY DO SEEK THE FRUIT OF THEIR LABOR DURING HARVEST SEASON.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FARMERS AND US IS THAT THEY SEEK, LOOK, EXPECT, HOPE FOR, ANTICIPATE, AND STRONGLY DESIRE BOUNTIFUL HARVEST FOR THEIR SOWING.

US ON THE OTHER HAND ARE NEVER OF THE SAME MINDSET WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING FOR OUR SINS.

WITH FARMERS IT'S A SHOT IN THE DARK DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL, SUCH AS THE WEATHER, PESTILENCE, ETC.....

AS SINNERS, REAPING WHAT WE'VE SOWN IS AS SURE AS WATER IS WET.

KNOWONE WILL ESCAPE REAPING FOR THEIR EVIL DEEDS, BUT HOW MANY OF US BELIEVE THAT SINCE WE NEVER WERE CAUGHT OR SEEN FOR A SIN WE COMMITTED
WE HAD ESCAPED REAPING, OR JUDGEMENT ?

ACCORDING TO OUR SCRIPTURE TEXT IT IS THE DELAY IN REAPING OR JUDGEMENT THAT CAUSE US TO ESTABLISH COMFORT ZONES IN THE MIDST OF SIN.

WE MUST REALIZE THAT REAPING IS COMING AS SURE AS CHRIST IS, AND THOUGH THE SAVED MAY RECEIVE GRACE IN THEIR REAPING, WE NONETHELESS WILL REAP.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


LETS REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A TIME TO SOW, AND A TIME TO REAP.

JUST BECAUSE WE WEREN'T REPAYED FOR OUR SINS IN THE SAME SEASON AS WE COMMITTED THEM DOESN'T MEAN PAYDAY IS NOT COMING.

IF YOU'RE WORRIED, CHECK YOUR SHEPHERD !

Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

THIS OF COURSE IS PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN, FAMOUS, AND MOST QUOTED PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE BIBLE.

MOST LEARN THIS ENTIRE PSALM AS CHILDREN FOR EASTER RECITALS AND PROGRAMS OF THAT NATURE.

MY FOCUS TODAY WILL BE ON WHATS NOT OVERTLY STATED, BUT IN THE COVERTLY OBVIOUS.

THOUGH MY PREVIOUS SENTENCE MAY APPEAR OXYMORONIC I BELIEVE IT WILL BE OBVIOUS BY THE END OF THIS ENTRY.

IN MY RECEIPT OF ILLUMINATION CONCERNING THIS PASSAGE, I REALIZED THAT IF WE ARE SHEPHERDED BY THE LORD AND INFORMED THAT WE SHALL NOT WANT, IT THEN STANDS TO REASON THAT WE ALSO SHALL NOT WORRY.

THOUGH THAT IS NOT BE FOUND WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN THE 23 PSALM IT IS DIRECTLY IMPLIED VIA THE NOT WANTING STATEMENT.


Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing;


TRUE STUDENTS OF GOD'S WORD REALIZE THAT IT SHOULD ALWAYS DOVETAIL WITH OTHER PASSAGES THAT SUPPORT, AND VALIDATE WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT.

THIS FIRST PASSAGE OF PHILIPPIANS 4:6 MORE ACCURATELY TRANSLATED WOULD READ "BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING", OR IN LAYMAN'S TERMINOLOGY "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING".

ALL OF WHICH DOVETAILS PERFECTLY WITH THE UNWRITTEN IN THE 23 PSALMS.

IT CONTINUES THEN IN THE SAME VERSE, GOING ON TO GIVE INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO RECEIVE FROM GOD, ALL THAT IS NEEDED BY US.

IN CLOSING I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IS BASED ON FAITH, AS SO MANY OTHERS ARE.

WE MUST FIRST ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN THE WORD TO REAP THE BENEFITS OF THE WORD, THAT MY FRIEND IS FAITH.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

WE MUST CEASE FROM SIMPLY READING AND QUOTING WELL KNOWN SCRIPTURES WITHOUT REAPING THE BENEFITS THAT ARE SOMETIMES HIDDEN IN THOSE PASSAGES.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST IF WE DO SAY THAT THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD THEN LETS RELAX IN OUR FAITH AND CONFIDENCE IN THE ALMIGHTY, BUT..........................................
IF YOU ARE AFRAID, NERVOUS, AND WORRIED YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR SHEPHERD!

SO WHAT ?

Psalms 107:2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so , whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;


re·deem
play_w2("R0098300")
(r-dm)
tr.v. re·deemed, re·deem·ing, re·deems
1. To recover ownership of by paying a specified sum.
2. To pay off (a promissory note, for example).
3. To turn in (coupons, for example) and receive something in exchange.
4. To fulfill (a pledge, for example).
5. To convert into cash: redeem stocks.
6. To set free; rescue or ransom.
7. To save from a state of sinfulness and its consequences. See Synonyms at save1.
8. To make up for:
9. To restore the honor, worth, or reputation of:


TAKE NOTE OF THE HIGHLIGHTED DEFINITIONS OF JUST EXACTLY WHAT CHRIST ACCOMPLISHED FOR US BY GOING TO CALVARY'S CROSS ON OUR BEHALF.

WITH GREATER UNDERSTANDING SHOULD COME GREATER GRATITUDE.

ONCE THE GREATER GRATITUDE IS IN PLACE WE SHOULD BE NATURALLY DRAWN TO GREATER PRAISE, AND WORSHIP FOR THE GOD OF OUR SALVATION, WHICH WAS BROUGHT ABOUT BY HIS REDEEMING US.



2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


THE ONLY PROPER RESPONSE FOR TODAY'S SCRIPTURE TEXT IS FOR US THAT ARE REDEEMED TO BEGIN TELLING THE WORLD THAT WE ARE, AND HOW THEY CAN BE !

WE ARE SO WHAT ?

SO SET FREE, SO RESCUED, SO RANSOMED, SO SAVED FROM THE STATE OF SINFULNESS AND IT'S CONSEQUENCES, SO MADE UP FOR, SO RESTORED OF WORTH, SO RESTORED TO HONOR, IN SUMMATION, SO REDEEMED !

THE FEEBLE ARMY

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;


THIS IS SIMPLE AND SHORT.

THE PHYSICIAN IS SAYING IF WE EVER STOP PRAYING, WE WILL BE WEAK AND FALL, OR FAIL.

faint:
play_w2("F0013000")
(fnt)
adj. faint·er, faint·est
1. Lacking strength or vigor; feeble.
2. Lacking conviction, boldness, or courage; timid.

THE PRECEDING IS THE DEFINITION FOUND I THE BIBLE FOR THE WORD FAINT.

IT CORRELATES WITH WHAT I STATED WHEN I SAID IF WE DON'T PRAY WE WILL BE WEAK WHICH TRANSLATE INTO FEEBLE, AND LACKING STRENGTH.

THIS TAKES IT A BIT FURTHER BY DECLARING IF AS IN LUKE'S WORDS,"WE FAINT", WE ALSO LACK CONVICTION, BOLDNESS, COURAGE, AND WE WILL BE TIMID.

IF THIS IS NOT MOTIVATION ENOUGH TO PRAY WE HAVE ALREADY BECOME WEAK, FAINT, FEEBLE, TIMID, LACKING CONVICTION, COURAGE, AND BOLDNESS.

THERE CAN BE NO RESPITE FROM PRAYER OR WE RISK THESE AFOREMENTIONED RESULTS.

IS THAT WHAT WE WANT ?

LUKE INSTRUCTS US TO ALWAYS PRAY.

NOT SOMETIMES, NOT WHEN WE ARE ON TOP, OR ON THE BOTTOM, HAPPY, OR SAD.

ALWAYS, MEANS WITHOUT CEASING.


1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.


PAUL PIGGY BACKS LUKE WITH HIS OWN DECLARATION ON PRAYER.






2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


NOW IS NO TIME TO QUIT PRAYING, BECAUSE NOW IS DEFINITELY NOT A TIME TO WEAK, FEEBLE, COWARDLY OR FAINTING.

ALWAYS PRAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE DON'T WANT TO.

LET'S PRAY AND NOT FAINT !

DON'T BE A PART OF THE FEEBLE ARMY OF NON-PRAYING SAINTS.

THANKS !

1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.


EVEN AS I WRITE, I AM STRIVING TO PRACTICE THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE IN MY LIFE.

THOUGH IT IS DEFINITELY EASIER SAID THEN DONE, I HAVE FOUND IT TO BE A NECESSITY IF I AM TO EVER RUN THIS RACE TO VICTORY.

NOT TO MENTION THE OBVIOUS FACT THAT IT IS WRITTEN AS A DIRECTIVE AND NOT A REQUEST BY THE APOSTLE PAUL, THEREBY MAKING IT A MANDATORY PRACTICE FOR CHRISTIANS GENUINELY PURSUING THE FACE OF GOD.

AS PAUL IS KNOWN TO DO HE HAS PAINTED US RIGHT INTO A CORNER WITHOUT WIGGLE ROOM.

WHICH HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE PRIMARY REASON I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE WRITINGS OF PAUL.

I BELIEVE HE AND I PARALLEL IN SO MANY WAYS WITH OUR APPROACH TO GOD, MINISTRY, AND GOD'S PEOPLE.

PAUL SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN VOID OF GRAY AREAS AND I LIKEWISE STRIVE TO AVOID GRAY AREAS IN LIFE, CHURCH,, MINISTRY AND ALL AREAS OF MY EXISTENCE.

AS I RETURN TO THE SCRIPTURE TEXT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PAUL USE A VERY ENCOMPASSING WORD WHEN HE CHOSE TO USE "EVERYTHING".

WHAT THIS MEANS IS YOU AND I MUST LEARN TO GIVE THANKS FOR THE THINGS WE LIKE AND/OR ENJOY WHICH IS SIMPLE.

THE DIFFICULTY COMES WHEN I MUST LEARN TO THANK HIM FOR MY HURTS, DISAPPOINTMENTS, FAILURES, HEARTACHES, LOSSES, ETC........

I WILL NOT FAIN AS THOUGH THIS IS SOME SIMPLE SECOND NATURE PRACTICE OF MINE THAT COMES WITHOUT DIFFICULTY.

I AM CONSTANTLY STRUGGLING TO THANK, AND NOT COMPLAIN, DOUBT, AND/OR QUESTION, THOUGH I DO ADMITTEDLY ASK GOD SOME QUESTIONS.

I AM NOT OF THE ERRONEOUS DOCTRINE THAT QUESTIONS REPRESENT DOUBT.

MY TEACHING IS THAT QUESTION COME FROM INTELLIGENT PEOPLE THAT REALIZE ANSWERS ARE PRECIPITATED BY QUESTIONS.

THEREFORE IF ONE DESIRES ANSWERS, THEY SHOULD QUITE OBVIOUSLY ASK QUESTIONS.

MY GOAL IS TO LIVE A LIFE OF THANKS TOWARDS MY GOD, PLAIN AND SIMPLY.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:


REGARDLESS OF HOW DIFFICULT OUR LIVE'S ARE, OR MAY BECOME, IF WE ARE EVER TO SEE THE SAVIORS FACE IN PEACE WE MUST ADOPT, AND ADAPT AN ATTITUDE OF THANKS.

THANKS FOR THE GOOD, THANKS FOR THE BAD, THANKS FOR THE BLESSINGS, THANKS FOR THE ENEMIES, THANKS FOR THE FRIENDS, THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS, THANKS FOR THE SILENCE.

WE MUST JUST LEARN TO CONDITION OURSELVES TO SAY THANKS EVEN BEFORE WE STOP TO CLOUD THE THANKS WITH OUR REASONING, LOGIC, COMPLAINTS, AND DOUBTS.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GOES AGAINST REASON WE SHOULD SAY THANK YOU LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENTLY SO THAT BOTH GOD AND SATAN HEAR OUR THANKS IN ADVERSITY.

THINKING THERE, BUT BETTER HERE

WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT WE ARE NOT PLACED HERE ON EARTH TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT RESIDENCE.

HOW OFTEN WE HAVE HEARD THE SUGGESTION THAT WE WEAR THIS WORLD LIKE A LOOSE GARMENT.

LOOSE GARMENTS OF COURSE ARE EASY TO SHED, AND QUICK TO HIT THE FLOOR, FREEING US THE BOUNDARIES OF WHATEVER THE GARMENT IS WE HAD ON.

ALL CLOTHING POSSESS RESTRICTIONS OF SOME SORT.

FOR THAT REASON GOD ALLOWED ADAM AND EVE THE FREEDOM OF SKIN AND IT'S LIMITLESS POSSIBILITIES.

ONCE THEY SINNED THEY WERE BOUND SPIRITUALLY AND REQUIRED TO BE BOUND NATURALLY, FIRST BY LEAVES, THEN BY CLOTHING.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE ALSO BEEN INFORMED THAT WE ARE PILGRIMS PASSING THROUGH THIS EARTH ?

LET'S NOT BEHAVE AS THOUGH WE AREN'T REQUIRED TO LEAVE THIS PLAIN, AND THAT WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MANNER WE ENTER THE NEXT PLAIN, AND WHICH PLAIN WE ATTAIN, HEAVEN OR HELL.

WE ARE STILL EXPECTED TO LIVE, AND MAKE THE MOST OF THE LIFE AFFORDED US.

OF COURSE WE ARE TO PLACE GOD FIRST, AND STRIVE TO BE AS CHRISTLIKE AS POSSIBLE.

YET IN THE MIDST OF ALL OF OUR ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE THIS HAPPY BALANCE WE ARE TO NEVER ALLOW THE REALITY OF DEATH TO BE FAR FROM OUR CONSCIOUS THOUGHTS.

THIS SHOULD BE DONE THAT WE NOT BECOME CAVALIER ABOUT OUR SALVATION, AND EVER AWARE OF THE FACT THAT OUR, AND OUR LOVED ONES CALLING FROM EARTH TO THE GRAVE MAY ONLY BE WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, OR EVEN SECONDS AWAY!

DEATH IS NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO BECOME SOME MACABRE OBSESSION WHERE WE DWELL ON DEATH TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN'T LIVE, BUT IT SHOULD LITERALLY LOOM OVER OUR DAILY ACTIVITIES.

WE SHOULD DISCIPLINE OURSELVES TO DISCERN AND DETECT DEATHS POSSIBILITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN THE EVERYDAY MOVEMENTS OF OURS AND OUR LOVED ONES LIVES.





2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

IF WE ARE IN CONSTANT PREPARATION FOR OUR OWN DEPARTURE FROM LIFE TO ETERNITY WE WILL STRIVE FOR CHRIST LIKENESS IN ALL WE DO REALIZING OUR TIME COULD COME ANY SECOND.

WE ALSO WOULD STOP TAKING FOR GRANTED THE ONES WE CLAIM TO LOVE SO.

BOTH OF THESE SCENARIOS PROPERLY PLAYED OUT WILL LEAD TO OUR BEING BETTER STEWARDS OVER EVERYTHING, MORE SERIOUS ABOUT OUR SALVATION, PREFER OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS BEFORE OURSELVES, TITHE PAYERS, OFFERING GIVERS, MORE COMPASSIONATE, FORGIVING, LONGSUFFERING ETC......

BEING IN A STATE OF CONSTANT PREPARATION FOR DEPARTURE WILL MAKE US BE OVER THERE IN THOUGHT, BUT BETTER HERE.

ENEMY FREE, MEANS VICTORY

1Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE ?

IF YOU ARE, WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS SCRIPTURE ABOUT DEATH SIGNIFICANCE IN OUR LIFE ?

MOST PEOPLE, AND BY MOST I MEAN APPROX. 99% THAT ARE AWARE OF THIS SCRIPTURE PLACE IT'S SIGNIFICANCE TO US AFTER WE HAVE LIVED.

TODAY AS I BEGAN TO WRITE THE LORD ILLUMINATED THIS SCRIPTURE TO ME AND REVEALED IT'S GREATER IMPORTANCE TO US IN OUR LIFE'S.

MY TIME IS SHORT SO I WILL ATTEMPT TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU IN SYNOPTIC FORM.

WE REALIZE THAT WE ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE WORD TO DIE OUT TO THE FLESH.

THIS IS A FORM OF DEATH !

IN YESTERDAYS WRITING I SPOKE OF GOD'S PROCESS KILLING ME, NOT LITERALLY, BUT LITERALLY KILLING ME OUT TO ME, OR MY FLESH.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A FORM OF DEATH.

I HAVE JUST REVEALED DEATH IN MYSELF TWICE WHILE I CONTINUE TO LIVE.

THE SCRIPTURE TEXT STATED THAT DEATH IS TO BE THE FINAL ENEMY DESTROYED.

CLEARLY DECLARING THAT ONCE DEATH IS CONQUERED THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO CONQUER BECAUSE IT IS THE FINAL ENEMY.

WE ARE AWARE THAT ONCE WE NATURALLY DIE WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE ULTIMATE VICTORY IF WE ARE GENUINELY SAVED.

BUT.....WERE WE AWARE THAT ONCE WE FINALLY TRULY DIE OUT TO OUR FLESH THAT WE WOULD HAVE ACHIEVED THE ULTIMATE VICTORY IN LIFE THROUGH DEATH ?

IT IS THE FLESH ALIVE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BRING ABOUT EVERY SINGLE ENEMY WE WILL FACE ON THIS EARTH TO VICTORY AGAINST US.

BUT THE DEAD MAN WILL NO LONGER AFFORD FLESH OR SATAN ANY MORE VICTORY'S IN OUR LIFE'S.



2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:


IF WE HAVE OUR FINAL ENEMY DESTROYED WE NO ,LONGER HAVE TO FIGHT BECAUSE WE'LL BE ENEMY FREE.

LET'S HURRY UP AND WELCOME THE DEATH OF OUR FLESH THAT OUR FINAL ENEMY WILL NO LONGER BE VICTORIOUS AGAINST US.

DYING AND BEING KILLED ARE NOT THE SAME

I TRULY WISH I POSSESSED THE ABILITY TO CONVEY IN WORDS THE DEPTHS OF MY PAIN, AND EMOTIONS BEHIND THE DEATH OF MY DAUGHTER.

I CAN NEVER PREDICT WHEN THE TEARS WILL FLOW, WHEN THE LONELINESS WILL HIT, OR THE REALIZATION THAT SHE'S GONE NEVER TO RETURN.

I WILL HAVE TO EVER DEAL WITH MISSING HER, AND THE SECOND GUESSING THAT ACCOMPANIES BEING A FATHER THAT HAS LOST HIS FIRST BORN.

I WOULD APOLOGIZE FOR LABOURING THIS TOPIC, BUT TO APOLOGIZE WOULD BE TO APOLOGIZE FOR LOVING HER SO, AND I'D RATHER OFFEND THEN NOT LOVE AND MISS HER.

ALL OF THIS MUST SERVE A PURPOSE, BUT IT'S NOT EASILY DISCERNED, OR OBTAINED.

I DO ATTEMPT TO IMAGINE THE PAIN AND EMOTIONS OF GOD WHO LOSES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN A DAY, AND HE LOVES EACH OF THEM EVEN MORE THEN I LOVE MY ONE DEPARTED CHILD.

I KNOW MY WELL WISHERS CAN NEVER HONESTLY SAY THEY KNOW HOW I FEEL UNLESS THEY THEMSELVES HAVE LOST THEIR CHILD IN DEATH.

LIKEWISE, I IN MY GREATEST MOMENTS OF DESPAIR, SADNESS, AND HEARTBREAK CAN NEVER SAY I UNDERSTAND HOW GOD FEELS.

I DO KNOW HOW I FEEL, AND I CAN NOT EVEN FATHOM MULTIPLYING MY HURT, AND LOSS ONE IOTA.

I WOULD NEVER WISH THIS EXPERIENCE UPON ANYONE, SO I MUST BE EVER SO CAUTIOUS TO NOT BE ONE OF GODS CHILDREN THAT BREAK HIS HEART BY REJECTING HIS OFFER OF SALVATION, AND HIS SHOULDER OF COMFORT.

I GUESS THAT IS LOVE.

PERHAPS I AM LEARNING SOMETHING FROM THIS EXPERIENCE.

PRIOR TO MY LOSS I ADMITTEDLY WAS PRIMARILY CONCERNED ABOUT MAKING IT TO HEAVEN FOR MY OW SAKE, AND NOT REALLY TAKING GODS FEELINGS INTO CONSIDERATION.

SURE I KNEW HE WANTED ME IN HEAVEN, THAT WAS THE REASON CHRIST CAME, AND SALVATION WAS OFFERED, BUT MY NOT MAKING IT AND CAUSING HIM TO HURT FROM THE LOSS OF HIS CHILD RARELY, IF EVER CROSSED MY MIND.

MY REASONS WERE SELFISH, AND SELF-CENTERED, NEVER CONSIDERING HOW MUCH GOD HAS INVESTED IN ME TO GET ME TO HEAVEN, NOR JUST HOW DEVASTATING IT IS TO LOSE A CHILD.

NOW I KNOW.

I'VE OFTEN SAID IN CONVERSATIONS THAT GOD WILL MORE TIMES THEN NOT, AND I GENUINELY BELIEVE HE DOES IN ALL CASES CAUSE A PROPHET TO WALK THEIR MINISTRIES OUT BEFORE THEY CAN HONESTLY, AND SINCERELY SPEAK DIRECTLY FOR HIM.

TAKE NOTE OF HOSEA THE PROPHET AND HOW HE NEEDED TO MARRY A HARLOT AND THEN BUY HIS OWN WIFE BACK BEFORE GOD MIGHTILY USED HIM TO SPEAK FOR HIM TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ABOUT THEIR SPIRITUAL FORNICATION.

WELL I SEE SOMETHING DEVELOPING,BUT I MUST CLOSE NOW UNTIL GOD RELEASES ME TO SHARE MORE, SO PERHAPS YOU CAN COME ALONG WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY TO COMPLETION.




2DAY PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT:

WE JUST WON'T KNOW WHAT THE END WILL BE UNTIL WE MAKE IT TO THE END, WHICH IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY WITHOUT THE LORD ON OUR SIDE.

THOUGH WE ARE MEANT TO DIE OUT TO SELF, THE PROCESS TO COMPLETION WOULD LITERALLY KILL US, WITH OUT GOD'S GRACE, AND IT IS STILL DESIGNED TO KILL OFF OUR FLESH.

WHEN NOTHING MEANS EVERYTHING

IN THE 8TH CHAPTER OF ROMANS PAUL MAKES MENTION OF HIS (OUR) ALLOWING A SEPARATION BETWEEN THE LORD AND US.

HE THEN GOES ON TO LIST A NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT COULD POSSIBLY BECOME PRECIPITANTS OF SEPARATION.

IF YOU READ VERSES 35, 38-39 YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT WHEN WE SO CASUALLY TOSS OUT WORDS WE, ARE OFTEN UTTERING BOLD STATEMENTS WE HAVE FAILED TO CONSIDER THE WEIGHTINESS OF.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE STATED THAT WE WOULDN'T ALLOW NOTHING TO COME BETWEEN US AND OUR GOD, OR OUR SALVATION.

WHEN WE STAND TO TESTIFY WE OFTEN PLACE OURSELVES IN PRECARIOUS POSITIONS WITH BIG WORDS, AND DECLARATIONS.

IN OUR EFFORTS TO IMPRESS WE OFTEN IMPLICATE AND/OR SET OURSELVES UP FOR SCRUTINY BY THE LISTENERS, AND OFTEN TIME THE MUCH ANTICIPATED FAILURE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WAS INEVITABLE.

MANY TIMES OUR SPIRITED AND WELL INTENDED BOASTING CAN ONLY BE SUMMED UP AS LIES.

IN GETTING BACK TO OUR FOCAL POINT HAVE WE EVER STOP THAT WHEN WE MAKE STATEMENTS USING WORDS LIKE "NOTHING" THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY BE SAYING EVERYTHING.

IN ORDER FOR US TO ALLOW NOTHING TO SEPARATE US FROM GOD, WE MUST REALIZE WE ARE SAYING THAT EVERYTHING FALLS INTO THE CATEGORY OF NOTHING.

EVERYTHING THAT IS IN EXISTENCE, AND/OR ACCESSABLE TO US MUST THEREFORE TAKE SECOND PLACE TO GOD.

I BELIEVE THESE WORDS ARE SPOKEN IN SINCERITY, AND WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.

I ALSO BELIEVE THE SPEAKERS OF SUCH WORDS HAVE ALREADY COMPILED A PRECONCEIVED LIST OF POSSIBILITIES LEAVING OUT ALOT OF REALITY.

MOST LIST PROBABLY CONSIST OF SUCH ITEMS SUCH AS ALCOHOL, DRUGS, THE OPPOSITE SEX, STEALING, LYING, ETC... WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LORD.

ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE ON THE LIST, BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER INTANGIBLES THAT MAY COME INTO CONTENTION WHEN IT COMES TO SEPARATING US FROM THE LORD.

SUCH AS JOBS, FAMILY, SCHEDULES, OBLIGATIONS, HEALTH, FINANCES, EMOTIONS
AND ANY OTHER PLETHORA OF THINGS MUST BE ADDED ONTO OUR NOTHING LIST, OR SHOULD I SAY OUR EVERYTHING LIST.

ON THIS DATE LAST YEAR I WAS SITTING IN MY 28 YR OLD DAUGHTERS FUNERAL SERVICE NOT BELIEVING THIS WAS REALLY HAPPENING.

IN THE YEAR SINCE I FEEL AS THOUGH I HAVE AGED SEVERAL YEARS.

EVEN THOUGH ON ONE HAND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ALREADY BEEN A YEAR, ON THE OTHER HAND THIS SEEMS LIKE IT'S BEEN LONGER THEN A YEAR.

I CAN REMEMBER SAYING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THAT I WOULD BY THE GRACE OF GOD NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO COME BETWEEN GOD AND I.

THAT WAS BEFORE THIS PAST YEAR, AND BEFORE MY EXPERIENCING SUCH LOSS, AND SADNESS.

I CONTINUE TO DESIRE THAT NOTHING SEPERATE ME FROM GOD, BUT I HAVE A GREATER UNDERSTANDING NOW OF THE COST OF STAYING WITH GOD.

AS IN ANY GENUINE RELATIONSHIP THE COST IS GREAT, AND THE SELF SACRIFICE IS EVEN GREATER.

ONCE AGAIN IN MY CLARK KENT FASHION I OPENLY ADMIT THAT I AM IN A BATTLE FOR MY FEW RELATIONSHIPS HERE ON EARTH, BUT NONE HAVE PROVEN AS TAXING, AND DEMANDING AS THE ONE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

IN MY FIGHTING FOR MY EARTHLY RELATIONSHIPS I HAVE INVESTED MUCH, BUT I LIKE ALL HUMANS HAVE MY LIMITS I GUESS.

I'LL GIVE OF MY FINANCES, THEY CAN HAVE MY HOME, CARS, ALL OF MY THINGS, INCLUDING MY HEART, BUT IN MY ATTEMPTS TO MAINTAIN, OR PERHAPS EVEN SALVAGE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD I'VE HAD TO EVEN GO SO FAR AS TO THROW IN MY SOUL.

IT WAS THEN THAT I DISCOVERED WHAT GIVING EVERYTHING MEANT.

EVEN IF I WERE TO OFFER MY SOUL TO MY EARTHLY LOVED ONES WHAT COULD THEY DO WITH IT THAT WOULD BE OF ANY VALUE TO THEM OR ME ?




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONITION:

I'VE INFORMED YOU ALL IN THE PAST THAT GETTING INTO HEAVEN IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, AND THAT OUR SUCCESSFUL JOURNEY THERE WILL REQUIRE GREAT EFFORT AND SACRIFICE ON OUR BEHALF.

IT WASN'T EASY FOR JESUS TO ACCEPT THE SHAME AND PAIN OF THE CROSS, WHY WOULD WE BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE EASY FOR US TO GET INTO HEAVEN.

LET'S REMEMBER SAINTS THAT WHEN IT COMES TO ENTERING HEAVEN, AND SPEAKING DECLARATIVE WORDS OF OUR INTENTIONS, THAT OUR NOTHINGS COULD VERY WELL REQUIRE OUR EVERYTHING.

WATCH NIGHT IS FOR WATCHING

HOW MANY PEOPLE BEGAN THE NEW YEAR BY BEING IN CHURCH JUST LIKE LAST YEAR?

OF THOSE PEOPLE WHICH ONES ARE PRETTY MUCH IN THE SAME SPIRITUAL CONDITION THEY WERE IN LAST YEAR THIS TIME , IF NOT IN A WORSE STATE DUE TO SOME BACKSLIDING.

SO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE RELIGIOUS WITHOUT EVEN BEING AWARE OF IT BECAUSE THE MAIN TOOL OF RELIGIOUSITY IS TO BE CONVINCED THAT AS LONG AS YOU'RE DOING THE SAME THINGS, AT THE SAME TIME, AND PLACES WE ARE ALRIGHT.

WHILE THAT IN ITSELF IS THE ACT OF RELIGIOUSITY.

SATAN CONVINCES US THAT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN SOME NIGHT CLUB, DRINKING ALCOHOL, OR SOME OTHER WORLDLY PARTY WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO HEAVEN.

SIMPLY BEING IN CHURCH FOR WATCH NIGHT SERVICE IS TO NO AVAIL IF WE ARE NOT WATCHING.

WE CAN WASH MORE FEET THEN A PEDICURIST, SING MORE BLOOD SONGS THEN THE ANGELS, AND HAVE MORE COMMUNION THEN MONKS.

IF WE ARE NOT AT WATCH NIGHT SERVICE TO THANK THE LORD FOR BRINGING US THROUGH THE EXITING YEAR, AND PRAYING FOR A CLOSER WALK WITH HIM IN THE COMING YEAR WE MAY AS WELL STAY HOME FROM ANOTHER RELIGIOUS EXERCISE.

ANOTHER COMMON CHRISTIAN MALADY IS KNOWN TO CREEP INTO THESE EVENTS, AND THAT IS PRIDE.

HOW MANY WATCH NIGHT ATTENDEES USE THEIR PRESENCE AT THESE SERVICES TO HANG OVER THE HEADS OF THEIR UNSAVED RELATIVES, FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS, AND EVEN OTHER SAINTS THAT WEREN'T IN ATTENDANCE.

THIS IS DONE AS THOUGH SOME CERTIFICATE OF ENTRANCE WAS ASSURED THEM DUE TO THEIR ATTENDANCE TO A TRADITIONALLY HUMDRUM, CUT AND DRY, NOT VERY SPIRITUAL SERVICE.

I AM NOT AGAINST ANYTHING THAT WILL AFFORD US OPPORTUNITY TO COME TOGETHER WORSHIPPING, AND PRAISING OUR GOD.

I AM AGAINST HOLLOW OBSERVANCES THAT HAVE LOST ALL MEANING, AND SPIRITUAL CONTENT OTHER THEN PERFORMING SOME ACTS THE LORD AND THE DISCIPLES DID, WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OF THE ACT BEHIND THE ACT.

CHRIST WASN'T SIMPLY ATTEMPTING TO GIVE US SOME MUNDANE ACTS TO FOLLOW TO PREVENT OUR BOREDOM.

THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THEN POSSESSING THE ABILITY TO QUOTE SCRIPTURES VERBATIM BUT NOT LIVING THEM, OR QUOTING THEM IN THE SPIRIT OF THE WORD.

SAINTS WE HAVE JUST GOT TO DO BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO SERVING THE LORD, AND DOING THE THINGS WE SAY WE ARE DOING FOR HIM.

THE TIME IS AT HAND TO EXAMINE EACH AND EVERYTHING WE DO, REALIZING THAT THE TIME FOR THE COMING OF THE LORD IS NOW, AND THE TIME FOR HIS JUDGEMENT OF THE BODY IS RIGHT NOW.

SO WHAT, WE WERE IN CHURCH AT MIDNIGHT DECEMBER 31.

WAS YOUR HEART IN THE SERVICE ?

WAS OUR MIND ON GOD, WHAT HE'S DONE FOR US, WHAT HE WANTS FROM US, ETC...?

DID YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THERE, OR WERE YOU THERE TO PREVENT THE OTHERS FROM TALKING ABOUT YOU, OR BECAUSE YOU HAD NO WHERE ELSE TO GO ?

WERE YOU POSSIBLY THERE BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE LAST YEAR AND IT'S NOW TRADITION.

HAVE YOU EVEN ASKED YOURSELVES WHY YOU WERE THERE AND WHAT ANY OF IT MEANS ?



2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: THIS YEAR WHY DON'T WE ALL MAKE A COMMITMENT TO EXAMINING ALL OF OUR RELIGIOUS ACTS, WHAT THEY MEAN, WHY WE DO THEM, THE MOTIVES BEHIND THEM, AND HOW THEY BENEFIT US.

REMEMBER. JUDGEMENT TIME FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD IS RIGHT NOW, AND THE TIME FOR CHRIST RETURN IS NOW.

EMPTY GESTURES WILL BRING US NO CLOSER TO GOD, THEREFORE THEY WILL NOT BRING US ANY CLOSER TO HEAVEN.

EACH ACTION, WORD, AND MOTIVE SHOULD BE BE GEARED TOWARDS OUR SEEKING THE FACE OF THE LORD, AND HIS WILL FOR US IN THIS LIFE !

WHEN WE ATTEND OUR NEXT WATCH NIGHT SERVICE WE SHOULD BE WATCHING OUT FOR THESE THINGS CREEPING INTO OUR LIFES.

SO THEN OUR WATCH NIGHTS WILL TRULY BE FOR WATCHING.

TIME: A CURSE OR BLESSING

HOW EASY IT IS TO BECOME DISTRACTED FROM THE LORDS WORK WHEN INUNDATED WITH THE CONCERNS OF THIS WORLD.

I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL OF THE SUPER HOLY READERS THAT HAVE ALREADY ENTER INTO THEIR JUDGEMENTAL MODE, THAT BEING CONCERNED WITH THE WORLD DOES NOT MEANS BEING APART OF THE WORLD.

WE ARE STILL IN THE WORLD SO IT GOES WITHOUT SAY THAT MANY THINGS SIMPLY MUST BE ADDRESSED IF WE ARE TO CONDUCT BUSINESS, AND LIVE AS WE SHOULD.

TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM ALL OF THOSE THAT DUE TO THE POOR ECONOMIC CLIMATE FIND THEMSELVES UNEMPLOYED, OR UNDEREMPLOYED THAT THE TIME ALLOWED NOW SHOULD BE PUT TO GREAT USE.

THERE CAN BE NO GREATER USE OF THIS NEW FOUND TIME THEN GROWING CLOSER TO THE LORD, AND NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT YOUR SITUATIONS.

IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE LORD IS USING THESE TOUGH TIME S TO ALLOW CHRISTIANS TIME TO REFOCUS AND REPRIORITIZE AS GOD BEGINS THE PURGING, CLEANING, AND JUDGING OF THE CHURCH BEFORE HIS RETURN.

THE TIME MAY COME WHEN YOU MUST RETURN TO WORK AND LOSE ALL OF THE PRAYER, AND STUDY TIME AVAILABLE TO YOU NOW, AND BOY HOW YOU WILL LONG FOR THE TIME WHEN YOU HAD TIME.

EVERYTHING WE CALL A CURSE IS NOT NECESSARILY SO.

JOSEPH IMPRISIONMENT LED TO THE THRONE, AND OUR LAY-OFFS MAY LEAD TO OUR PROMOTIONS.




2DAYS PROPHETIC ADMONISHMENT: GOD KNOWS WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT WE NEED.

IF HE ALLOWED YOUR LAYING OFF, OR JOB LOSS HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOU, BUT YOU MUST USE THIS BORROWED TIME OF NO WORK TO SEEK HIM, WHICH WILL IN TURN LEAD TO YOUR DISCOVERING HIS PURPOSE, PLANS AND GOALS FOR YOU.

NOW ASK YOURSELF IF YOUR DOWN TIME, REGARDLESS OF WHAT CAUSED IT, IS A CURSE, OR A BLESSING.
